Once Karl and his opponents had caught their breath, they left the stage arm in arm, headed for the triage tent.
"Protocol, you see. Not everyone has the regeneration rate of a troll on amphetamines, some of us actually get injured and stay that way. Especially when someone starts throwing around the Fundamental Rule of Chaos like it’s no big deal."
"Every rule has its upsides and downsides. I know a girl who mastered the rule of Chaos and still had her face disfigured by an Order Element beast." Karl shrugged.
"With a perfected rule of Chaos?" The Immortal asked, confused as to what could have happened.
"She tried to taste test a Demigod. While it was still alive."
The Immortal choked, and then stumbled over his feet, only narrowly escaping embarrassment.
"She did what now? I mean, to know your Rule, you must live your Rule. But that’s a bit too chaotic."
"She will advance soon, and join us here in the Immortal Worlds. I’m sure you’ll get to meet her at some point. She’s really quite sweet once you get to know her."
For a moment, the Immortal wondered what someone who had fully embraced Chaos would be like, then decided to never think of that again.
For the sake of his own sanity.
"So, you changed the focus of your studies from Chaos to Mana Manipulation?" he asked instead.
"Not exactly. I’m still working on Chaos, and I touched on the Rule of Fire as well. It’s a unique aspect of my class. There are others that I have a bit of insight into, but far from enough to make a complete rule." Karl offered as they reached the tent.
Rae had mastered two, but none of the others were at all inclined to such a feat.
Not even the Dana Mage was after two Fundamental Rules.
"You, come in first. I’ve got questions." The medic, a white dragon cleric, demanded.
"If you have blue dragons here, you should probably call them too. They get mad if they have to find out secondhand."
The medic shrugged. "They’re not particularly interested in staying in a money focused Merchant Clan. We rarely come across new knowledge, as we focus on things that we already know are profitable.
They’re more likely to end up in one of the crafting, research or even the cultivation groups. Those at least come across profound insights now and then.
But that’s a matter for later.
First, how did you get a physique that can regenerate like that? Is it an Epic Grade skill? Second, your durability, is it also a skill? Or is it a side effect of the regeneration ability?"
Karl pulled out a chair and took a seat. "There is a long version and a short version. I will start with the shorter version.
